Probably the earliest memories for me would be going to restaurants with my family.

Image
I thought I would attend school and get an assistant position and work my way up but being in NY and seeing the pace of everything, is very inspiring.

Designing a product and understanding how it filters through into the market and into the rest of the company is very important to me.

My mom would take me to restaurants, and the first thing I'd ask for would be a pen and a napkin, and I'd sketch shoes and shoes and shoes.

I don't think fashion week will go back to what it used to be because people are realising that the industry is completely changing. It's not just in Bryant Park any more, people are figuring out who their audience is, where they want to show, they aren't really playing by the rules. It's not so much about these editors, these buyers.

I’m not like most designers, who have to set sail on an exotic getaway to get inspired. Most of the time, it’s on my walk to work, or sitting in the subway and seeing something random or out of context.
Alexander Wang
Image
I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.

Image
In the beginning I pushed toward perfection, but it takes time to get to certain places.
Alexander Wang
Image
I don't care how small or big they are, insects freak me out.
Alexander Wang
Image
No one ever taught me, and I never had formal classes in pattern making, so I was like, Okay, I'll just drape, and I'll sew as I pin it.
Alexander Wang
Image
I think sometimes there are negative connotations for those who have a business mind as well as a creative side.
Alexander Wang
Image
My friends always joke that I run on batteries.

I always say that I'm really inspired by mistakes and things that kind of go wrong.
